Consumer Description

Frieghtliner uses a tire pressure monitoring system manufactured by Valor. The system is unreliable and stops transmitting data to the instrument panel without any notice to the driver. The only way you discover it is not working is by scrolling through options on the instrument panel and discovering that instead of registering pressure and temperatures, you have dashes displayed. There is no alarm or other indication the system has failed. Loss of air on a steer wheel in a large motor home is potentially life threatening. The loss of pressure data being presented to the driver makes catastrophic tire failure more likely. Freightliner corporate and their dealers basically say they know the system is not operating appropriately and there is nothing more they can do.
